New Year: Vesseled with a cake
Hi,
Things started a long back, for me 23 years back, for others may be a different day.
I started this year with my good machines. I was in shift. I had the pleasure of sharing the night with all the equipments that were there. And i got to do the thing i justed wanted.
By the sheer coincidence, i got be there with the crawler lying there next to the wharf, with the 12 on the sight. The first one to be greated was the lovely, black coloured, fine, 6 tonn crawler. It was the first one to be wished.
And as a present, i got to see a beautiful crane which had operator cabin at not more then the height of the tyres. I mean when the operator will sit in there, his head will still be below the top most point of the tyre. For me friends, it was a lovely day. And it took me back to the house singing- wide loud.
I did get to see a lady next to my mess. She was preety. But i was like exhaused. So well had to go to sleep. Anyways nice way to start an year. Eh! I tell you its good.
Anyways, I am back to my feat. With the first of Jan, ther are going to be lot of changes. A lot of changes in my company, just like may be in lot many of you out there. Guys who will not be there 4 of them transfered to another site, about 1500 Kms away to an ICD. ( i heard they have got 20 or 30 equipments there), but its a land locked area. No sea. Also it is in an area i don’t like. People call be stupid, they say its a great area. I say, i love my sea. Most of the guys who have left were on the soft side, i mean, no competetion with ‘em. Can work with machines with them, just without any trouble. They wont be there, one of my managers will not be there, and an ass gead is going to take his place. It is little dangerous. But i plan to do only and only about me.
This month, my machines did handle 25 vessels. It was the best it has done since the plant was started. So three cheers for ‘em all.
I just say a great lady standing a few blocks away. I think i was stupid to follow my usual route and not to wish her.
Wishing you all a Great Year Ahead.
